Water tank cleaning and sterilising in Al Rawabi, Jeddah

Al Rawabi is a mixed district in south Jeddah stretching along Old Makkah Road and Bin Laden Road. Dense apartment blocks and villas stand above shops and a shopping centre. The area is close to the Islamic Port and industrial city, so grey dust contaminated with diesel and metal filings settles on the tank rapidly.

Why a clean tank matters for your water supply

A mixed district in south Jeddah with apartment buildings and villas above shops and a shopping centre, with small parks such as Bin Laden Park, located near the Islamic Port and industrial warehouses.

Seasonal maintenance before peak use

Diesel and metal deposits from the port and industry settle at the tank base and require strong repeated cleaning.
After a long property vacancy

After a period of non-use, algae grow rapidly and water becomes green.
Visible discolouration or unusual taste

After a damp spell or heavy winds, hardened dust on the roof may enter the tank when it is opened.
Landlord or building inspection requirements

Before Ramadan or entertaining guests, ensure water is completely odour and taste free.

What changes about water tank cleaning and sterilising in Al Rawabi

Tanks in Al Rawabi become dirty from port and factory dust, and water sometimes develops a grey tint. For the whole method, see water tank cleaning and sterilising in detail.

The first reason
Port and industrial dust settles on the tank

The Islamic Port and industrial city are very close, and continuous lorry traffic raises diesel and metal dust. This grey contamination is not pale sand but heavy industrial pollution.
The second reason
Older buildings with flat roofs collect dust easily

Many Al Rawabi buildings are old concrete with worn surfaces, flat roofs and open stairwells. A flat roof surface collects dust easily and holds it there without drain or slope.
The third reason
Sea humidity sets dust into a hard layer

Humidity from the nearby port keeps dust damp on the roof surface, and summer heat sets it hard and sticky. The dust becomes a thick layer that is difficult to remove.

Landmarks of Al Rawabi

The team reaches the site along Old Makkah Road or Bin Laden Road and uses Bin Laden Park or Al Rawabi Shopping Centre as orientation landmarks to locate the building.

What you have when the work is done

Interior walls free of scale

The scrubbing stage removes deposited minerals and biofilm from every reachable surface.

Sterilant applied and flushed out

A drinking-water-safe sterilising solution is applied to all interior surfaces and then fully flushed before the hatch is sealed.

Hatch secured and sealed

The hatch is resealed after the final flush to prevent airborne dust and insects from entering the tank.

What is different about South Jeddah

South Jeddah is the working end of the city: the Islamic Port, the industrial city with its warehouses and workshops, and behind them older low rise districts such as Ghulail and Al Khumrah. The roads are built for lorries, and port and factory traffic runs through the night, so the dust that settles here is grey with diesel and metal filings rather than pale sand. Buildings are mostly older concrete with flat roofs and open stairwells that collect it. Sea humidity keeps it damp, and in summer it sets hard on ledges and cladding.

Questions worth asking first

Does the smell of oil and fuel in the water come from the port nearby?

Yes, diesel and oil smell may reach the tank from the nearby port atmosphere. This requires strong sterilisation and repeated flushing to clear.

Do vibrations from heavy lorry traffic affect the tank structure?

Vibrations from heavy vehicle traffic may cause small cracks in the tank or pipes. Regular inspection is important to ensure the tank remains sound.

Does ongoing building dust from projects around the shopping centre worsen contamination?

Yes, ongoing projects in Al Rawabi raise additional building dust. This adds to the existing port and factory dust.

Do old buildings with flat roofs actually collect dust more readily?

Yes, a flat roof surface collects dust easily. A sloped roof allows dust to slide off, but a flat roof retains it.

Should the tank be cleaned again after the damp autumn season ends?

Yes, humidity and dust together in autumn create a thick layer. Cleaning after a damp autumn is recommended.

How often should a tank be cleaned in an industrial area like this?

Cleaning every three months is necessary in Al Rawabi. More frequent cleaning may be needed if building work is intensive nearby.
